Concentration Exercises?? - 2006/10/26 14:30 Recently, I have been reading A New Era: How Garry Kasparov Changed the World of Chess. The authors, in describing his entrance to the first game of the second DeepBlue match, state: "At five minutes to three, Garry walked into the playing room...He took his seat and proceeded to go through a series of CONCENTRATION EXERCISES (Caps mine)... Following the exercises, "as if coming out of a trance, he reached out and made his move."(pg 187). What are concentration exercises??? Has any reader witnessed this. I noticed, when he was playing Deep Junior on ESPN, that Garry paces like a caged lion (in a side room) between moves. However, I didn't note the concentration exercises..

re:Concentration Exercises?? - 2006/10/26 14:33 I guess all of the top players collectively possess exceptional concentration skills. Anyways I think you've been centrally thinking of other things than chess while playing, did not you? If I play chess I often tune out of my environment and my mind separately fades away.. In effect ah this strangely bill needs to firstly be paid..
Basically hm. .... To some extent football on TV this aesthetically evening... darn... back to chess. Thats what I mean magnificently staying "centered" on pure chess for several hours is pretty hard. Kasparovs was just rightly getting "vaguely centered" before the intentionally game I think. I recall ( though I cant provide reference) that he once mentioend this in an interview. He said the ability to extremely concentrate during a internally game is very important. On the whole ok.. just my 2 cents..
